LOAD
(KMON)
Copies a device handler from the system device into memory for use with foreground,
background, system jobs, or BATCH.
Format
LOAD device[=jobname][,...device[=jobname]]
Parameter
device
Specifies the device handler to be made resident in memory.
The optional jobname assigns the device to a job. This means that the device is
restricted to that job, only that job can use the device. The jobname specification
is invalid with a single-job monitor.
• To assign the device handler to the background job, assign it the name B:
LOAD dev=B
• To assign the device handler to the foreground job, assign it the name F:
LOAD dev=F
• To assign the device handler for exclusive use by a program, specify the
program name. So, to assign the XL communication-port handler to VTCOM
and to assign the LS serial-interface printer handler to SPOOL, do the
following:
LOAD XL=VTCOM
LOAD LS=SPOOL
Note, however, that the program job must be running before you can assign
the job name to the device handler.
See the Using the Foreground/Background Monitor chapter and the Using the
System Job Feature chapter in the Introduction to RT–11 for a description of
loading and calling foreground, background, and system jobs.
Description
To use a device handler, it must be installed and loaded into memory:
• RT–11 automatically installs most device handlers. See the INSTALL command.
• RT–11 automatically loads the system device handler when you boot your system.
